  • Sept. 11-20: 100 Years Running Virtual Fun Run, you pick the time and place. Hosted by League of Women Voters of Salt Lake: “Grab a walking partner or run like the wind on your own. The 100 Years Running 5K Fun Run is going virtual to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the League of Women Voters and the 19th Amendment. While we recommend our set course around Liberty Park, we want you to join us wherever you are. Just download a running app and keep track while you go 5K (also 3.1 miles). Take photos along the way and send them to us. And you’ll have fun learning more about the history of our voting journey from 1789 to 2020. Each station (below) will have a QR code to bring you to our website and Voting History. Both will be live on September 11 — the first day of our 5K.” Click here to register.
